Candlebox is a rock band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in December 1991, they originally named the band Uncle Duke and later changed it as a tribute to a song by Midnight Oil. They were sometimes looked down upon by grunge fans for their style, which was considered by many to be a derivative version of true grunge, and their commercial success as result of it. Despite this, the band played the Seattle club circuit during the early 1990s to the many of the same fans who had supported many of the bands that had come immediately before them. The members did not consider Candlebox to be a grunge band however; they viewed themselves as a rock and roll band more than anything and their style reflected that.

Mothers Dream Lyrics
Candlebox
Im flipping through these pages
Me memory seems jaded
A lots been lost since my mothers dream
But these sudden flashing colors
Close my eyes
Only seven
Full of life
Feel my heart its aching over
Feel my heart its aching over
And i
I remember being young
Seventeen
Yes youd come to my house
Wont you tell me the things that Id done to you this time
Never in my life did I feel so unsheltered
In my mind I could feel youre nothing
Good for nothing
As you told me
Yes you told me how hard I tried
Oh these broken bones
You carry me home
My mothers dreams
She called it
My mothers dreams
She called it
Yes my age
Has turned in my direction
Cold and lonely resurrection
Lies they told me why Im lost within your soul
But Ive worn all those patches in my dreams
Always broken at the seams
Wont you help me
Wont you help me
Oh no angel
